Grand Nuo Lord

Chapter 86
Legend has it that the Nuo religion was established during the Zhou Dynasty 2000 years ago. At that time, Fang Xiang was both the leader of the Nuo religion and the priest responsible for Nuo affairs during the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He has 120 envoys under him to assist him and help him deal with Nuo affairs.

These messengers are called 120 佲子.

Over the past 2000 years, the Nuo religion has carried out various activities to welcome gods. Some are to welcome the Nuo gods of the religion back to the main hall, and some are to invite gods from outside to become Nuo gods in Taoyuan Cave.

Every time the scene of welcoming the gods is not small, there are records in past history books.

Every time to welcome the gods, 120 羲子 come across the void and carry the legendary Dragon Pavilion to pick up the gods.

Most practitioners have heard of these things, but few have actually seen them.

Today the Nuo religion is going to welcome the gods in front of the Mingchun Jiangjiang Temple, which is a huge bustle.

Moreover, there are three Nuo gods welcomed this time, one of them is the most fierce god of Nuo religion, General Kaishan.

According to the status and reputation of the Great Nuo God, the Nuo Sect must have a very grand ceremony to welcome the God.

Everyone has opened their eyes wide to see the legendary Dongzi and Dalong Pavilion.

Maybe it's because the sky is too dark, maybe the river fog is too thick, or maybe it's some other reason.

The river is filled with fog and there are many shadows of people.

A group of figures stepped on the water and crossed the river, crawling straight on the river like black dragons, heading towards the south bank of the river temple.

This is what most monks see.

They could neither see clearly the Jizi nor the Dalong Pavilion. They could only judge through the black outlines that those people were holding musical instruments and ritual vessels commonly used to welcome gods.

The team seemed to be integrated into the night, shuttling in the darkness. They were not living creatures in this world, but more like phantoms and afterimages cast from a very far distance.

Only a few monks, relying on their cultivation or treasures, could see through the diffuse river fog and night, and see the true face of the team.

Zhu'er is the perfect cultivation base of Zangyou, and also the master of this section of the river basin.

When the team welcoming the gods arrived at her place, they could not hide it from her eyes.

She saw a long queue of about 120 people.

Almost all of them were dressed in black, their heads were wrapped in red cloth, and their faces were covered with golden masks.

The mask was ferocious, with four eyes, the top two eyes were closed, and the bottom two eyes were open, emitting inch-long golden light.

Zhu'er recognized that it was Fang Xiangshen's mask. She only opened her eyes when she saw the mask, and knew that those people were indeed Xiangzi who was under Fang Xiangshen's seat.

The two leaders were each carrying a large flag, with the flag behind them and the word "clear the way" written on it.

A gong hung in front of the flagpole, larger than a washbasin.

This is the person who sounds the gong to clear the way.

Then a small band, holding small gongs, brass bells, sticks, gold cymbals, drums and other musical instruments, played solemn music.

The people behind were holding axes, melon hammers, silence signs, avoidance signs, tall golden lanterns, lanterns, and colorful flags.

Among the colorful flags, a tall and majestic golden flag stood out.

The flagpole is three feet high, and the huge flag flutters in the wind. On it is embroidered the god Fang Xiang, holding a gun and raising a shield, with golden eyes shining, lifelike.

The other side is embroidered with eight Nuo characters, which are exactly the teachings of Nuo religion: drive away ghosts and plagues, and bring peace to the world.

After the colorful flags, there is the umbrella team, including three-color umbrellas, yellow dragon umbrellas, Wanmin umbrellas, five-color umbrellas, and seven-color umbrellas.

On the umbrella are written words such as "good luck and good luck", "conquering ghosts and bringing gods to the gods", "abundant harvests", "prosperous wealth" and so on.

Behind the umbrella team, a nine-color umbrella was tall and big, covering the void like a canopy.

The nine-layer umbrella is stacked on top of one another, and the umbrella surface and ribs are decorated with countless spiritual beads, jade and agate, shining in the night.

There are a series of tassels hanging from the edge of the umbrella, colorful and shining, fluttering with the wind.

Under this nine-color umbrella, there are four yellow scarf warriors carrying a pavilion-shaped object, and four generals are guarding it on horseback.

These four generals are majestic and majestic, wearing battle helmets with flags on their backs. The battle robes on their bodies are the same color as the horses on their crotches, which are red, white, black and green respectively.

When Pearl saw the four warriors and four generals, she knew that what was being carried was the legendary Nine Layers of Heavenly Flowers, the Great Dragon Pavilion, also known as the Great Dragon Pavilion.

The top is the top of the treasure furnace, which is three feet high and has nine floors in total. The bottom floor looks like a square cabinet.

The red pillars and gold tiles have countless carvings on them, such as ingots, flowers, mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, etc., which are mysterious, magnificent, exquisite and luxurious.

A Boshan stove hangs under the corner of the pavilion on each floor. The smoke curls up and transforms into inch-high fairies, cranes, dragons, boys and other shapes surrounding the dragon pavilion.

On the pillars of the pavilion and under the eaves of the pavilion, there are countless hanging sculptures, such as an immortal holding a lotus, a parrot holding a pearl, a goddess holding a vase, etc. Some are as long as an arm, some are as short as a little finger, and there are many. , exquisite shape.

Each one has a graceful posture, plump and soft, looks lifelike, delicate and delicate.

Further back in the queue, there are people scattering flowers, holding flower baskets and grabbing various paper flowers to scatter.

The flowers were colorful, drifting away with the river, and soon disappeared, as if they merged into the river.

Behind them are the people offering treasures, holding wooden cases on which are placed pens, seals, knives, hammers, swords, bells, flower baskets, fans and other magical instruments.

Zhuer's eyes returned from the end of the team and fell on the big dragon pavilion. Her eyes were shocked and curious.

Dalong Pavilion was given to Prime Minister Fang by the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty in the past. Its nine floors correspond to the nine heavens.

In the past, when the Great Zhou Dynasty held the National Nuo Festival, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the 360 ​​five righteous gods rode on this object to patrol the sky.

It is said that there are more than 1 statues of gods inside and outside, all of which are gods of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past. On the outside are minor gods, priests, and generals, and on the inside are 360 ​​five righteous gods and their subordinates.

The sculptures on the Dalong Pavilion symbolize the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty leading the gods to patrol the heaven and earth, which is a manifestation of the national power of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Before he was not crazy, grandpa once said that during the Great Zhou Divine Tribulation, the Nuo gods hid in the Dragon Pavilion to escape the disaster. Is that true or false?"

Just when Pearl was thinking wildly, the team welcoming the gods had already reached the shore.

With a clang of gongs, the leader of the gong ringers stopped and stood on the water without going ashore.

The entire team behind also listened. When the gong sounded, everyone stopped, as if they were still for an instant, and the lively music suddenly disappeared.

The onlookers' eyes were fixed, and they didn't know why the team suddenly stopped.The sky and the earth suddenly dimmed, and the thick fog on the river became heavier and heavier, submerging the figures in it and blocking the sight of the onlookers.

Suddenly, a golden light shone in the thick fog, and then a big flag appeared.

The flag fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound. The Fang Xiangshen made of gold threads on it was dancing, with golden eyes shining, and the gold and gold shields in his hands clashed, making a loud banging sound.

"Nuo! Nuo! Nuo..."

Every time Fang Xiangshen hits Ge Dun, he will let out a roar, as dull as thunder, like the roar of an ancient giant, shaking the void and reverberating between heaven and earth.

In a manor in the western suburbs of Anping City, a woman with a white lotus mark on her eyebrows changed her expression, turned around and disappeared.

As soon as she disappeared, the silver basin filled with water on the table exploded, water splashed everywhere, and the whole room was shaken by a huge noise.

There was a click in the sky above Yuanbao Mountain and the mountain city. The huge golden round light mirror instantly shattered. Countless golden fragments flew into the air and turned into little golden dust.

At the same time, the spells used to spy on Ming Chunjiang from all over the world were broken by the dull voice.

After Fang Xiang shouted "Nuo" nine times in a row, he disappeared and the big flag disappeared into the mist.

Then, the nearby onlookers saw the God-welcoming team rushing out of the thick fog.

Their figures were as illusory as ghosts, and they flashed step by step. Each step seemed to cross the void, and rushed straight into the hut next to Jiangshen Temple.

The golden light flashed in the house, the door was closed tightly, and countless figures walked in through the door, one after another, and in the blink of an eye, all the welcoming team had entered the house.

The long line of people entered the small room, but did not even crowd the room.

The onlookers were very surprised when they saw this scene. They couldn't help but suspect that these people greeting the gods were not living people, but gods and ghosts.

The golden light in the house disappeared instantly, and then a burst of festive gongs and drums sounded, and the roof lit up with golden light.

Countless people exclaimed, their eyes widened, and the team to welcome the gods rushed out from the roof.

Until this moment, the creatures on the earth could not clearly see the team welcoming the gods.

In the boundless night, pairs of eyes looked up at the sky, with shock and admiration in their eyes, and some with fear.

Before entering the house, the figures were black and lifeless.

Now it seems to be coated with a layer of gold paint, rising straight into the sky like a long golden dragon.

Gongs and drums, axes, axes, melons and hammers, umbrellas and colorful flags, everything in the team was dyed gold.

Each golden figure stepped on the void, beat gongs and drums, danced, and sang desolate tunes in their mouths, which were obscure and difficult to understand, but with a mysterious and ancient charm.

Knowledgeable people know that they are stepping on Yu steps, dancing are Nuo dances, and singing sacred songs.

The colorful flags were embroidered with various masks, some ferocious, some majestic, some domineering, some gentle.

The colorful flags fluttered, the golden light filled the air, and the masks were blinking, laughing, and screaming strangely, which was vivid and charming.

These mask patterns are all dead Nuo gods of Nuo religion. At this moment, they seemed to come to life and became members of the team.

The dragon pavilion welcomes the gods and flies to the nine heavens, and Bai Nuo travels across the world at night.

This is the ancient description of the scene of welcoming gods in Nuo religion, and now it has truly appeared in the world.

Many pairs of eyes looked under the largest nine-color umbrella, wanting to catch a glimpse of the legendary Nine-layer Tianhua Dragon Pavilion.

The precious light flashed on the big umbrella, and a spiritual light fell from the edge of the umbrella, like silk and rain. The nine-color light flashed, making it difficult for people to see what was under the umbrella.

I could vaguely see four yellow turban warriors walking under the umbrella, looking like they were carrying something. There were two mighty generals on horseback guarding them on both sides.

In Anping City, many people came out to see the Dalong Pavilion, but they couldn't see it now, and some people started to curse directly.

"Zhi Niang, this is different from what is written in the ancient books. I was waiting to see the Great Dragon Pavilion. Why did I block it?"

"Haha, what an idiot. General Kaishan is the most ferocious god in Nuo religion. He is sitting in the Dragon Pavilion right now. His bloody light is soaring into the sky. He doesn't need an umbrella to block him. We all have to count one by one. Get down."

"That's right. Even if you can't see the Great Dragon Pavilion, your life will be in vain if you can take a look at the Nine-Colored Universe Hunyuan Umbrella. It was the canopy used by the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty when he surveyed the sky."

Rumble.

Just as everyone was discussing, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

The vortex of clouds and qi in the sky swirls, among which there is the sound of muffled thunder, and the golden lightning is like a snake, swimming in the vortex of vitality, and finally converges into four balls of golden light.

The golden light twisted and changed, transforming into four huge eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a huge golden head immediately appeared in the night sky.

The head hung like a golden sun in the night sky, illuminating the sky and the earth. It had a huge mouth and fangs, and was ferocious and terrifying. It was exactly what Fang Xiangshen looked like.

"Nuo, Nuo, Nuo..."

The team that welcomed the gods walked through the air and flew towards the huge Fang Xiang's head, and at the same time issued a thunderous call.

Fang Xiang's four eyes were as big as the hood of a car. As the golden light flashed, he opened his mouth wide and a golden vortex appeared.

The clouds in the sky were like whirlpools, the void was twisted, and the night sky seemed to have collapsed, constantly pouring into the big mouth.

Above the sky, golden light filled the air, and a golden head opened its huge mouth, shocking countless creatures on the earth.

The team that welcomed the gods was like a golden dragon, winding up in the sky, submerged into the huge mouth of the golden head, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The huge mouth of the golden head closed, its four eyes dimmed at the same time, and the head turned into a golden cloud and disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the sky returned to darkness and the earth fell into deathly silence.

The team of Nuo cultivators welcoming the gods had picked up the general who founded the mountain, crossed the void, and returned to Taoyuan Cave.

Many people were immersed in the big scene just now and had not come back to their senses for a while.

　Recently I have watched a lot of videos of Nuo operas, You Shen, Ying Song and Dance, and Officials and Generals Heading. I feel that the big scenes of You Shen need to be written in a freehand way. It is too detailed and does not have that sense of mystery.

　　There is also the Dragon Pavilion. I want to write that there are countless wood carvings and wooden statues carved on it, shaping it into the kind of emperor's sacred stand that all gods worship and accompany. After all, it was the place where the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty sat. It combines the small statues of Xi County, LF City, SX Province. Xitian Hanging Sculpture, I feel like it didn’t capture that flavor.
